actually 20-year-old michael stephen sanford's disrupted plot to kill donald trump inside treasure island casinos. he was quickly rushed away. >> thank you. thank you, officers. >> according to officers he got up from his seat and said he was seeking to get an autograph from trump. he then tried to grand prix the holster with both hands. he admitted to trying to shoot and kill trump acknowledging he would likely only be able to fire one to two rounds before being killed by police. this isn't the first threat to trump on the campaign trail. in march a demonstrator was arrested in ohio after he tried to rush the candidate on stage. in recent months candidate's west coast campaign stops have on occasion included violent encounters between protesters,

that donald trump had a donald trump problem, not a corey lewandowski problem. >> if you look at the two elements most important in presidential politics, there's sort of the science of the campaign, operations, field game, the staff, the coordinating surrogates and fundraising and the art. the science and art, the general performance. in both areas, the science, the operations have been a disaster. he has very few employees, he hasn't raised any money. he has no performance in the field. the art, if you look at how he's used the last six weeks since he's sewn up the nomination. it's been gaffe after gaffe after self-inflicted wound after self-inflicted wound. the science and art are failing him. it's not clear to me that just a tweak of firing the campaign manager is going to fix this. it's a donald trump problem. >> that's my question, can he do that. >> do you think he knows he's in trouble. you keep hearing words like chaos, disarray, hot mess. does he understand how deep this problem is?

>> i don't know. but my scene is he has a lot of people telling him he has a real problem. but if you also look at the way he's performed not only in the last year in politics but over his entire career. whether in book publishing, real estate, reality tv. every stage of his career he's operated at one speed, highly inflammatory, highly divisive receipt riblg, sort of shooting from the hip, one-man band. this is never showing someone showing discipline willing to work as part of a massive national operation and being willing to restrain his rhetoric to calm supporters down. >> what changes do you expect paul manafort to make. >> none. he has three pivot points, convention, choosing a vp and debates. there's also a vote brewing among delegates. >> 400 delegates say they will try to dump trump. >> there's 1500 supporting him and they think they can get up to half quickly. >> big story, hillary clinton

going to give a big speech on the economy and try to dismantle this thought that donald trump is an excellent businessman. could it be tough? >> absolutely. there was a ton of opposition research on the primary on this, republican primary opponents never really used it. i've seen a lot of it. it's powerful. i think she'll use it to great effect. he has no surrogate operation, nobody it to push back. >> dangerous heat helping to fuel wildfires burning in the western united states. there are fears two wildfires outside of los angeles could merge. >> at least 16 wildfires burning in the west. hundreds forced to evacuate there and triple digit temperatures are making matters worse. death valley could reach 120 degrees today. phoenix could hit 110. carter evans is in duarte, california. good morning to you. >> good evening. we're in the foothills of the national forest where hundreds of firefighters have been

battling this fast-moving blaze through the night. but it's those triple digit oppressive temperatures during the day that have been making this such a tough fire to fight. >> these are huge flames. >> flames from the fish fire and reservoir fire ate away at tinder, dry vegetation monday. firefighters mounted a strong offense in punishing 100 degree heat in order to keep the fires from merging into one massive inferno. >> look it pouring out of the airplane, it goes and goes. >> smoke choked the air and became an erie backdrop to downtown los angeles skyline. drivers could see the towering plume from the freeway. more than 600 homes are now under mandatory evacuation. some had little more than 10 minutes notice before they had to get out. >> it's devastating. it's unbelievable how fast it happens and that it was actually burning against the wind downhill. >> if this burns we know the

next thing will be mudslides. >> debbie crawford watched anxiously as the fire flirted from her property line. >> we live here for a reason. we love mountains and hills. >> you have to know there's always that danger. there's always a tradeoff. >> as night fell, the flames crept closer. the aerosol pressed on and the camp crews fought the fire from the ground. >> with this heat and with the fuels being so dry, we could have another spark up from miles away. >> just after sunrise, and it already feels warm out here, we're expecting triple digit temperatures to continue through at least today and of course that means the possibility there could be even more wildfires. >> carter, thanks. attorney general loretta lynch will travel to florida today for a briefing on the investigation into the orlando nightclub shooting. the fbi yesterday released a time line and transcripts of phone calls between the gunman,

a hodge negotiator and dispatchers. david begnaud in orlando. david, good morning. >> reporter: charlie, good morning. our investigative team confirmed fbi has their hands on a piece of video that shows the killer practicing with sig sauer attack rifle also, a calm and deliberate manner. at 2:00 a.m. the call goes out to police. multiple shots fired at pulse nightclub. the killer was inside armed with sig sauer mcx rifle and handgun. about six minutes later. >> the officers within the club within minutes and engaged the suspect in gunfire. >> the killer retreated to one of the bathrooms and barricaded himself inside with hostages. at 2:35 a.m. according to police, he called 911. >> i'm in orlando, he said, and i did the shootings. during the 50-second call, he also pledged his allegiance to

the leader of isis and then hung up. what followed were three conversations with hostage negotiators between 2:48 a.m. and 3:24. the killer claimed to have kplofs. there is a vehicle outside with bombs. he had vest similar to the ones in false. both were false but by keeping the killer occupied and on the phone police believe lives were saved. >> during that time our officers were intermittently in and out of the club saving people. >> early on monday the fbi was criticized by republican leaders the shooter's pledge to isis th redacted. speaker paul ryan said selectively editing the transcript is preposterous and the public should be clear eyed about who did this. investigators backtracked, releasing the transcript without redactio redactions. by releasing it with redactions

at first they didn't want to release a platform for propaganda. why they weren't being transparent the justice department four hours later said here is the script unredacted. you guys are creating an unnecessary distraction. >> quite a reversal. david, thank you so much. new gun control measures appear unlikely after senate failed to pass bills, each fell short of 60 votes needed. democratic party bills called for extended background checks and banning anyone from a terror watch list to buy guns. it requires them to wait 72 hours. also more resources for background checks. susan collins expected to reveal a bipartisan bill today. hours before senate votes last night i interviewed vice president joe biden. our conversation at the executive office building next to the white house was wide ranging. we began with gun control. >> we have seen in orlando another terrible terrorist

attack. in fact, the largest mass killing in america's history. it brings to the fore once again gun control. are you any more optimistic at long last some changes may take place? >> slightly, charlie, but i do think at a minimum on matters relating to people on the terrorist watch list being able to purchase a weapon as well as possibly tighter background checks could pass this time. >> and could it pass house of representatives. >> i don't know. but all i know is you've got to continue to try. it will eventually pass. >> some will argue that if someone is intent on doing great violence, they will find a gun. >> let's assume that's true. okay? whether they find a gun or they find the equivalent of an ar-15 depends on how much damage they can do. like you hear, if they don't

have a gun, they will get a whatever.bat or knife or well, they aren't going to kill as many people, they aren't going to get to as many people. have you have multiple rounds ifen int ostntpsitensn rldedy n

discuss. rikki, good morning. >> good morning. >> this remains one of the worst stories most people have ever heard. >> i agree. >> i can't imagine how horrible it was are for the parents. what could disney's possible defense be here? >> disney will say, if they were to have a defense, if the case were to go forward in that manner, disney is going to say, look, it wasn't foreseeable. we've never had an alligator attack on a human being that killed anyone, period, that there hasn't been an alligator attack at all where there's even an injury in 45 years. therefore, it wasn't foreseeable. they'll also say there were no swimming signs that were posted and when people go they assume the risk. the third thing they'll say is everybody knows there are alligators in central florida. and to that last, i say for people like me who grew up in the midwest and live in the concrete city of new york, i don't expect a gator to be on a property at walt disneyworld.

>> and no swimming is different, rikki, than beware of alligators, is it not? >> i think no swimming is highly different than beware of alligators, so we have to look at what the plaintiff has to prove if it were to go to trial. the plaintiff has to simply say that they knew, disney knew, prove that they had knowledge. what did they know, when did they know it, and they had a duty to warn. they didn't warn. >> why would disney ever want this to go to court? you don't ever want to argue with a family of a toddler killed on your property by an alligator. >> i say if i'm advising disney that my best advice is not only write the check and write it big but write it before a complaint is ever filed. >> and with the huge plan about how it will never happen again. >> i think it should already have been written and it should have been written with a sense of we are so very, very sorry. >> these are all the changes we're making. >> there is no question that is

the correct advice. >> what can we do? >> of course. >> and i am sure and they have done well with making the family feel the best that disney can under the circumstances. >> there have been other changes already. >> what they have done, which would show to the public that they could have done it, but that is not admissible in court should it go to court. >> i think norah's point -- what you are saying -- >> i was just there with my three kids on that very beach. >> you all raise an interesting point, why would this possibly go to court? they're very

>> we face similar conditions to what the guys will be facing this week which is cold temperatures and no light whatsoever down at the south pole. >> reporter: on monday the planes landed on the antarctic pen iinsula. only one aircraft will make the roughly 1,500 flight to the south pole. the second will stay behind in case the first runs into trouble. >> the big concern, of course, you don't have enough fuel to go to the south pole, turn around and come back. >> reporter: the contractor's name and exact condition haven't been released and a second patient may also need to be evacuated. temperatures outside the south pole station are hovering at minus 60 degrees fahrenheit. while the rescue planes can withstand the extreme cold and use skis to land on the ice, in prior rescue missions other vital systems have frozen over. >> so the skis heat up and when the plane stopped, it froze to the ice, which we weren't

expecting. when it was time to leave, we were stuck. we couldn't get the plane lose. >> reporter: the doctor was evacuated in 2001 because of a gallbladder infection. lieutenant colonel david pandera of the air national guard has flown to the south pole more than 300 times. >> i can go from blue skies like you see hyped behind me with blt to a total whiteout, a very strange place. >> reporter: his unit evacuated dr. jerri nielsen who diagnosed and treated herself for breast cancer while at the station in 1999. she had to wait until the end of winter to leave, something current rescuers hope to avoid. >> the challenge is always going to be the temperature and the weather. those two most uncontrollable factors whether it's our airplane or theirs. >> reporter: according to the national science foundation there are 48 people at the south pole station maintaining the facility and conducting

book "grit" says it's a perfect time to develop interests. the university of pennsylvania psychologist defines it as passion and perseverance, a key success predictor no matter what season it is. "grit" is a division of cbs. angela, welcome back and good morning. >> thank you so much. >> first of all, congratulations. i always look at the "new york times" bestseller list and you've been on it since you first came here so congrats. >> i snuck a peek myself but thank you very much. i appreciate it. >> let's talk about this. you say gritty people usually focus on one thing at a time. what about summer and for our kids? >> when you look at gritty people in maturity, grown-ups, they do one thing really well, it's their passion. where does that come from? when you're a kid, you don't know what the passion will be. you have to try things. summer is a great time to try things even if they don't become your lifelong passion because you always learn something.

>> for example? >> for example, i love it when kids get a job. not all kids are old enough to get a job but when they're teenagers and legal to work, you learn enormous things of when you have a boss who is not your parent. sometimes like a chef that i studied, he started washing dishes. it ends up leading to the passion. sometimes it doesn't. but you always learn something. >> you say don't -- a lot of commencement speakers say follow your passion. you say foster your passion. >> i have sat in a number of commencement speeches. i'm a professor, i've been a student so i've graduated and when that commencement speaker tells you to follow your passion and you don't have one, i think it strikes fear in your heart and you wonder what do i do now? maybe a better verb is foster because it's really developed over time. summer is a great time to sart one. >> you have a thing in your house, you say you should do one hard thing. what does this mean, one hard thing? people are running away from

hard stuff. >> i have a 13-year-old and 14-year-old at home and i do impose the hard thing rule on them. they have to do a hard thing, something that takes practice to try to get better, to fail and get feedback on that failure and to learn. and over the summer, they have to do a hard thing as well. we don't take breaks in our house. the seasons have their seasonality but, yeah, over the summer they will continue to do something that takes practice. >> and you have to finish it. >> and they have to finish it. you don't get to quit in the middle. >> what's a hard thing you would try over the summer? >> my one daughter, lucy, plays viola and she will continue over the summer, so that's a continuing hard thing. but my other daughter, amanda, is starting to develop an interest in french, so we're going to send her to a program where she's going to practice french for two weeks. that's a bit of a luxury and not every parent can afford programs camp but the idea in general is that if kids can do something

where their interests are starting to grow, whether it's a paid program or not, i think that's progress. sitting at home on your couch is not what i want kids to do. >> go ahead. >> a great story condoleezza rice said her mom always made her play the piano and her mom made her quit. her mom said you can't quit until you're good enough. >> what's the grit scale? >> it's a questionnaire i developed after interviewing super achievers in fields such as sports and music. you interview them all the time. so you could have written the grit scale. it asks the question how persistent are you about goals that you care about and how consistent is the direction in your life? are you going in all different directions or do you have something that motivates everything you do? >> one of the biggest in my life is purpose. have purpose. >> and to have purpose is the first step to having grit. >> i like that. angela duckworth, love your

"finding dori" is not only shattering box office records, some say the latest disney pixar movie is breaking down the stereotypes about the disabled. it's thanks in part to the lovable but forgettable title character that's voiced by ellen degeneres. how cool is that picture? i want to touch dori. the blockbuster's deeper message. >> i suffer from short term memory loss. >> it's a condition dori has had since she was a baby. >> i suffer from short term memory loss. >> yes. that's exactly what you say. >> she has a brain that works a little bit differently than everyone else's. it allows her to make connections other people wouldn't or see other things other people might miss. >> where did you grow up, dori? me? i don't know. >> she's on a quest to find her long forgotten parents and never lets her disability get in her

way even when her friends lose faith. >> nah, never worit's too crazy. >> other people aren't willing to extend kindness or with her. >> why can't we just enjoy the view? we've done it. >> reporter: seeing the matter of fact treatment of dori's memory loss and her ability to take on any challenge as a breakthrough for shoved. helping those with developmental and intellectual disabilities, she took a group to see the film. >> the message was not lost. i think as soon as we got out of the film people said she never gave up. she kept swimming. she did it. >> look, hot diggety! you're flying. >> reporter: disney has a history of films that embrace the differences of their main

characters. dumbo's oversized ears allowed him to fly and the title character in the original "finding nemo" puts a positive spin on his smaller than average fin. >> how is the lucky fin? >> lucky. >> reporter: but "finding dori" gives a whole spectrum. the octopus is missing a tentac tentacle. the shark has vision problem. the whale has trouble with his sonar abilities. but they all ultimately find their own special skills to help dori get home. ellen degenerous provides the voice for dori spoke to "entertainment tonight." >> even your disability can be your biggest strength. so i was surprised to see how complex of a character she became. >> reporter: and so we don't see her as a tragic figure. we see her as a person who is different. i think that catching kids at an age when they haven't formed preconditions about disability and encouraging them to see

human variety and potential and opportunities to have different experiences is a really powerful thing to it do. >> reporter: the group that she took to see "finding dori" also got the film's subtle message will parenting. they like the movies and shows that can be scary and allows children to learn about risks. they agree it was because dori's parents were brave enough to believe she could find her way back home that made it all possible. >> many messages there. now i actually want to see it. don't you, charlie rose? >> maybe you can go together. you're watching "cbs this morning." ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

certainly a great show to come back to. >> having fun. >> that does it to us. tune in to the "cbs evening
